I have noticed, at several World Wide Web sites, scanned-in images of visual artworks which are owned by major museums/institutions rather than the people whose WWW site it is. I understand that the works of museums fall under either public domain or are copyrighted (depending on when and where the work was made). But, aren't the reproductions copyrighted? I was under the impression that one could not simply copy a reproduction and make it publically available.Since I am beginning to develop WWW sights myself, I could use some clarification. Thank you!
